Charles Bukowski quote: "one can never be sure whether it's good poetry or bad acid"
one can never be sure whether it's good poetry or bad acid Charles Bukowski
My importance to the world is relatively small. On the other hand, my importance to myself is tremendous. I am all I have to work with, to play with, to suffer and to enjoy. It is not the eyes of others that I am wary of, but of my own. I do not intend to let myself down more than I can possibly help, and I find that the fewer illusions I have about myself or the world around me, the better company I am for myself. Noel Coward
I think a lot about the poems I wasn't able to write...I masturbrated...Solitude is essentially a matter of pride; you bury yourself in your own scent. The issue is the same for all real poets. If you've been happy for too long, you become banal.

Afterword either happiness coarsens the poet or the poem is so true it destroys his happiness. Orhan Pamuk
